Menopausal Eye Health: Why Omega 7 is Essential
April is Women's Eye Health and Safety Month, which highlights the eye health challenges that many women face, especially post-menopausal women who are more vulnerable to conditions like dry eye syndrome. Recent studies featured in the Journal of Nutrition and the Journal of Functional Foods have pointed to Omegia™ sea buckthorn oil as a natural remedy for managing symptoms of dry eyes.
Research Findings on Omegia™ Sea Buckthorn Oil
Research published in the Journal of Nutrition revealed significant benefits for participants taking Omegia™ sea buckthorn oil:
An 18% reduction in eye dryness.
17% decrease in the sensation of burning compared to the placebo group.
Further studies in the Journal of Functional Foods showed that over 90% of participants experienced improved eye moisturization after using the oil. These findings underscore the oil's potential for relieving dry eye symptoms and enhancing overall eye comfort.
Understanding Dry Eye Syndrome
Dry eye syndrome is marked by insufficient tear production or poor tear quality, leading to symptoms such as irritation, redness, and a burning sensation in the eyes. This condition can be exacerbated by hormonal changes, environmental factors like dry air, and extended periods of screen use. Post-menopausal women are particularly at risk due to hormonal fluctuations that affect tear production.
Mechanism of Action
Omegia™ sea buckthorn oil, derived from the seeds or fruit of the Hippophae rhamnoides plant, is rich in Omega 7 fatty acids. These acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and ability to regenerate mucous membranes, crucial for maintaining healthy, lubricated eyes. The effectiveness of Omegia™ in treating dry eye symptoms primarily stems from these Omega 7 acids, which improve the mucosal layer inside the eye, essential for stabilizing the tear film and ensuring eye comfort.
Diverse Forms and Applications
Omegia™ sea buckthorn oil is versatile and available in multiple forms including pure oil, vegan softgels, water-soluble powder, hard capsules, and tablets, catering to various preferences and needs. Additionally, Omegia™ is used innovatively in functional beverages and gummies, making it easier and more enjoyable for individuals to incorporate this beneficial supplement into their daily diets.
Women's Eye Health and Safety Month is an excellent opportunity to explore natural remedies like Omegia™ sea buckthorn oil for eye health. Its effectiveness in alleviating symptoms of dry eye syndrome, combined with its availability in various forms, makes Omegia™ sea buckthorn oil a practical and appealing choice for women seeking natural, effective solutions for their eye health. Whether in traditional supplements or innovative products, Omegia™ sea buckthorn oil offers a flexible and enjoyable way to support eye health naturally.
